I've recently had some complaints that I just don't talk enough about football, and as this is a subject of great interest to my one reader I will be spending this blog talking about the history of the offside rule, before moving on to the effect on the modern game of the Dutch "Total Football" system of the 70's, particularly as regards the Arsenal "Invincibles" during their infamous unbeaten league campaign of the 03/04 season. Actually I won't at all, I just wanted to worry you :-). Although, I'm not sure I can think of anything else to write about....
I am, of course, joking. instead my subject shall be procrastination. But then again, I might just put this blog off until tomorrow...
As you may know, next week marks the start of exam season at Sheffield Uni. Now the perfect student would have long since made a revision timetable, started their revision and possibly solved world poverty while they were at it. However, seeing as how such a person would undoubtedly have already been trampled underfoot by a mob of students off to watch the match, get hammered and fall asleep outside their flat, this week has instead seen a flurry of sleeping, watching TV and general time wasting activities. This week I have: played 4 consecutive hours of corridor football, raced a Tomy my first car up and down the flat, watched endless episodes of Judge Judy (she's such a b*tch), and sat for 45 minutes folding and unfolding a Galaxy wrapper, all in the name of not working. Which is unfortunate.
However, on the off chance my mother ever stumbles across this, I have been devoting my time wholeheartedly to revision, revision and nothing but revision. That and making swans out of tin foil.
Song of the day: Where I End And You Begin - Radiohead. Made famous for the lyric "There's a gap in between, where I end and you begin". Which is good. because otherwise he'd be some sort of conjoined fetus type person, and that wouldn't be nice at all.

LOL. Judge Judy is a b*tch, you should watch Judge somethingorother who gives you hugs and sweets on Sky One. I swear giving hugs and sweets to children these days were illegal?? and by the way, I'm expecting my foil swan in the post. Goodnight x x
ReplyDeleteAnd actually one day, if you could tell me what the offside rule is, I'd be most grateful. And then don't ever speak about football again. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat have you got against conjoined foetus type people?
